Texas gets two minor league arms for Perisho

Perisho, 25, was 2-7 with a 7.37 ERA in 34 games for Texas last season. He made 13 starts.

He pitched briefly for the Anaheim Angels in 1997 and for the Rangers in 1998-99, and has a career record of 2-11 with a 7.29 ERA.

"Perisho is a young left-hander whose pitching style suits Comerica Park," general manager Randy Smith said in a statement. "He's got a good fastball and excellent changeup and is a pitcher we feel can make a contribution in 2001."

To make room on the 40-man roster for Perisho, the Tigers designated right-handed pitcher Victor Santos for assignment.

Mobley, 25, was 6-0 with a 2.70 ERA last season at Double-A Jacksonville.

Villafuerte, who turns 25 on Sunday, spent most of the season at Triple-A Toledo and was 4-9 with four saves and a 6.67 ERA.
